Be it known that l, PAUL Eonni, a citizen of Hungary, and a resident of' Buffalo, in the county of Erie and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful improvements in lll/Yater-Mot-ors, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relateslto water motors of the rotary type.

One of the objects of the invention is to provide a motor, whichis adapted'tobe at-. tached to a water faucet, thus'` rendering its use possible for running light machinery in dwellings, etc., not supplied with electric power. n Another object of the invention is to provide a motor with a gearing, the driven shaft of which may be shifted to any `desired position in relation to the wall or other support, adjacent to which the motor is at tached to the faucet.

A lfurther ob ect of the invention is t o produce a motor of the type'described, which is simple in construction, efficient in operation and which can be manufactured on a commercial scale or, in' other words, one which is not so diiiicult to make as to be beyond the reasonable cost of such a device.

lVith these and other objects in view, which will more fully appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the same consists inthe combination, arrange-k ment and construction of parts hereinafter described, pointed` out in the appended claims and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, it being understood that many changes may be made in the size andproportion of the several parts and details of construction, within the scope `of, the appended claims without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any Vof the advantages of the invention. n

One Vof the many possible embodiments of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figurel is aV side elevation, partly` in section, of a motor constructed in accordance with the present invention; Fig. 2 is a similar elevation, on a larger scale; Fig. 3 is a section .taken'on line lp-'of Fig. 2; Figa is a perspective view ,of a portion of the rotor; Fig. 5 is a perspective view of a housing covering the gearing of the motor, Fig. 6 is a yperspective view lof an element for detachably fastening the housing tothe motor casing; and Fig. 7 isa perspective View of the bearing of the driven shaft of the motor.

In the drawings, the numeral 10 indicates the motor casing, inch'iding a section 11 'that is substantially circular in cross-section. This casing may be madek of any suitable material, in the rcase illustrated in the draw ings of sheet metal, comprising a plurality of sections which are united in the usualr manner. From the circular section 11 of the casing rises tangentially a nipple 12, into which fits the outlet of a faucet 13, a gasket 14, of rubber or similar material, being interposed to preventleakage ofwater at this 1 point.y The casing is provided, preferably,

at its lowest portion with an outlet opening 15, through which the water is discharged into the sink, on which the faucet is mounted, or into any receptacle connected with a waste-pipe or sewer. ln order to properly support the motor upon the faucet, there are attached to ormade integral with thev casing upwardly projectingclamping members 16, which are adapted to be brought into engagement with the faucet pipe and held thereagainst by a bolt 17 and clamping nut 18.A

To the opposite outer faces of the circular portion of the casing are centrally secured vbearings 19, in which is rotatably rjournaled a shaft 20, carrying a rotor-21. This rotor is disposed within thecasing and comprises two disks 22, the peripheral portions of which are connected by blades`23. Thev disks yare fixed, for instance by rivets 24:, to f a hub 25, that is drawnfover the shaft 20 and secured thereto in any suitable manner, for instance by a pin 26. One end of the rotor shaft extends outsidel of the casing and carries at that end a bevel gear 27,

/in mesh with a similar gear 28, the latter being mountedy upon a driven shaft 29, that extends at right angles to the shaft 20. The shaft 29 is journaled in a bearing block 30, shown in detail in Fig. 7 of the drawings. The inner end of this block is split, as shown at 31, and provided with an arc-shaped dovetailed groove 32, into which fits the arcshaped dove-tailed extension 33 of a support 34, the latter being riveted or otherwise fixed to that outer face of the casing which is adjacent the bevel gear 27. A clamping screw 35, extending through the split portion of the bearing block 30, serves to fix the position of the latter upon the support 34. The center of the arc of the dove-tailed extension coincides with the center of the rotor shaft 20, thereby permitting the driven shaft 29 to be swung around the shaft 2O to any desired position.

The gears 27, 28 and the bearing blockA 30 are covered by a housing 36, that is detaehably held upon the motor casing by clamping members 3'?, shovvn in detail in Fig. 6 of the drawings. The driven shaft 29 extends through an arc-shaped slot 38 in said housing, permitting the said shaft to be shifted around the rotor shaft 20.

rihe operation of the invention is obvious from the foregoing description. In placthe motor upon the faucet, first the latis inserted into the nipple l2 and then clamping members 16 brought into enagement With the fauced pipe. The driven ha ft 29 is then adiusted in relation to the rah, upon which the faucet is mounted, by detaching the housing 36, unscrewing the clamping screw 35, and shifting the bearing block 30 to the desired position upon the support 34:. l to clamping position kand the housing mounted upon the motor casing. Vhen the motor has been adjusted in place, the faucet is opened, the Water, flowing down through the nipple l2, impinging upon the blades of the rotor, thereby actuating the latter.

fhe motor casing, rotor and housing are fitting it for the use described. Gbviousiy, a heavy motor could not be supported upon a faucet and could not be conveniently attached thereto or detached therefrom. The invention is very simple, portable and, in or- 'very light in construction', thus particularly ritter this, the screw is brought -said support dinary size, does not Weigh more than two or three pounds.

What I claim is l. A water motor comprising a casing, a shaft journaied in said casing projecting therethrough, a. rotor Within said casing fixed to said shaft, a bearing'block shiftably mounted upon said casing, a driven shaft journaled in said block, and gears iiiied to said rotor shaft and driven shaft for transmitting the rotation of said rotor to said driven shaft.

2. ln a Water motor according'. to claim l, said bearing block being shiftable around the airis of said rotor shaft.

A Water motor comprising a casing, a shaft journaled in said casingl projecting therethrough, a. rotor Within said casing fixed to sn i shaft, a support upon said casing having' an arc-shaped dove-tailed extension, a beaing block having a dove-tailed groove in engagement Withsaid dove-tailed extension, said biock being shiftable upon and the center of said arcshaped doietaiied extension coinciding` with the iongitn inal. axis of said rotor shaft, a driven sha t journaled in said block, and gears hired to said rotor shaft and driven shaft for transmitting the rotation of said rotor to said driven shaft. v

Signed at Buffalo, in the county of Erie, and State of New York, this 9th day of October, 1919.
